This is a beautiful property, we loved our 2 week stay and highly recommend it to anyone thinking about staying here. The property management (Maisha and Alicia) are very attentive before, during and after the stay, really couldn't ask for more. Housekeeper Eva is also great and very thorough. Beautiful sea views from the property and the grounds are well maintained. The plunge pool is wonderful, regularly cleaned and perfect for cooling off, it's smaller than the pools in most other properties but if in need of a good swim we always found we had the large communal pool to ourselves (a bit roughly finished, but water kept very clean). Facilities in the property were great, kitchen has everything you need. Main bedroom has the comfiest bed we've ever slept in! The only thing I didn't realise before our stay was there is no air con in the lounge and kitchen area, just ceiling fans. Bedroom air con is wonderful, but the lounge and kitchen get very hot. The solution is to hook open front door and back doors which gives a lovely breeze but also welcomes mosquitoes and they seemed to love biting us! Once we bought some spray and a smoke coil for outside they left us alone. Also note there are security cameras at the front and back of the property accessed only by the owners for the security of the property. This is completely understandable when you have such a beautiful property but I think it would be helpful to clarify in advance (when / how often / if at all) they access the cameras during your stay. There is still work being carried out on the development, it appeared to be ground work rather than building construction so there was some noise from bobcats on the land in front of the property but it certainly didn't disturb our stay. We hired a car from Stoutes for 14 days, best car we've hired in Barbados and reasonably priced (GBP was very weak when we stayed, but still good value). Local restaurants are excellent, we especially loved the food at Tides, the service at Paul Owens, and The Cliff for a very fine dining experience. On balance, this is a stunning, high end property, hosted by the finest team, don't hesitate to book!
